Texas born Charlie Sexton (born Charles Wayne Sexton) was
taught to play the guitar by local Austin blues guitarist W.C. Clark and
Stevie Ray Vaughan. His first foray into the world of recorded
music was his participation on a 5 song EP (Juvenile Junk) by a
group known as the Eager Beaver Boys. The album's packaging was
bit amateurish, but it has turned into a high collectible record.

By 1985, Charlie Sexton was on his own, and his first
solo album was released:
Pictures for Pleasure. The album was recorded in Los
Angeles when Sexton was a mere 16 years of age. The album featured
the Top 20 hit single "Beat's So Lonely". Receiving critical
acclaim, Sexton found himself working with the likes of David Bowie, Don
Henley, Bob Dylan, and Iggy Pop. At the age of 20, in 1989,
Charlie Sexton released his second album (self-titled album).
Many of you probably remember the song "Hold Me" from this release.

In 1988. Sexton teamed up with his brother, Will Sexton,
for a project called Will and the Kill, and later an another band
project called Arc Angels. Arc Angels released a self-titled album
under the Geffen Records label in 1992. As the years rolled on, he
worked on various projects and movie soundtracks, in addition to
releasing his own work from time to time, including
Cruel and Gentle Things in 2005. Sexton has also been an
integral part of Bob Dylan's band as the years have rolled on and the
Arc Angels have also played the occasional reunion show from time to
time. At the time of this writing, the Charlie Sexton Discography

HOLD ME:[chorus] Thrill me,
Let your kisses thrill me,
Just like you alone can do,
Hold me,
Tenderly enfold me,
And never try to hold me away from you [etc]
